Members of the
committee are requested to indicate where they may have any pecuniary or
conflict of interest in respect to any matter appearing on the agenda, or any
supplementary item to the agenda, which the committee has resolved to deal
with.

At the 9
January 2019 Community, Culture and Events Committee, it was resolved, inter
alia that:

Acknowledging the significance and
success of the Taste of Tasmania in 2018-19, its economic benefits to the
state, noting the concerns and recommendations in the report of the Associate
Director of City Economy, Tourism & Events marked as item 4.1 of the Closed
Community, Culture and Events Committee 9 January 2019, and recognising the
financial burden placed upon Hobart ratepayers to fund the Taste of Tasmania,
before making a final decision the Council seek the following further
information:

A
statistically valid random survey of the Hobart community (ratepayers and
residents) be undertaken with final questions drafted with the company carrying
out the survey to ensure no bias.

A further
report on the content of the survey be provided for consideration at a special
meeting of the Community, Culture and Events Committee to be scheduled for 21
January 2019.

In response to
the Committee’s decision that a survey of the Hobart community
(ratepayers and residents) be undertaken, Myriad Research has been engaged to
formulate the survey questions (see attached) as well as to undertake the
survey of Hobart ratepayers and residents.

Mr Brian
Correy, Executive Director at Myriad Research will be in attendance at the
special Community, Culture and Events Committee meeting being held on 21
January 2019 to answer any questions elected members may have.
